Simply amazing story! That episode was actually my least favorite but your insight on what may have happened afterwards was refreshing!

This was beautiful.

Wonderful story.

Nicely done. You captured the characters and the essence of this fine show from the dangerous encounter through the bittersweet frustrations of their impossible relationship and finally to a fulfillment that we all ached for.

Well each time I think surely it won't be as good as the last...You are really amazing, and I think you should write a fanfic book. I'd be one of the first to buy it! :)

I've never watched that dreaded episode, and there's more than enough pain for my taste in this written expansion, but your take was entirely worth it, leading everyone's hearts (the characters' and ours) to safety as it did.

Applause...for your intelligent words, your careful thoughts penned with great respect for our loving couple.

You've plumbed their depths and celebrated their joy so well!

Good expantion! And a great challenge, there are not many THM takes out there!

Just as an aside comment, I think Vincent has the same responsibility - if not more - for what happened with Catherine. She asked him, warned him, but

he didn't stop, which ultimately caused the boys to be obsessed with her. She could have called for backup, but she felt threatened with their potential

knowledge of Vincent, that's why she probably felt she couldn't involve the office. It was his actions who put her in that situation this time, and it's

not the first time. Just my two cents!

Great episode expansion story, C, wonderful writing. So wish this has really been part of that episode; you gave it the perfect ending for Vincent & Catherine. Please continue to write more V&C stories like this one. :)
